Evidence of Russia's 'likely hold' over Trump was covered up by the UK government, according to a former British spy

Steele has reportedly accused the May government, in which Johnson served as foreign secretary for two years, of throwing "a blanket" over the allegations regarding President Trump's relationship with Putin.

He said: "No inquiries were made or actions taken thereafter on the substance of the intelligence in the dossier by HMG [the UK government.]" Steele said: "In this case, political considerations seemed to outweigh national security interests. If so, in my view, HMG made a serious mistake in balancing matters of strategic importance to our country.He added that the UK government was reluctant to take action when it would present "difficult wider political implications," using alleged Russian interference in the UK's 2016 referendum on EU membership as an example.

It said Prime Minister Johnson's failure to release the report was an "affront to democracy" and that it was "untenable for you [Johnson] to continue to block the publication of the Russia report."the report due to the "embarrassing" links it revealed between the Russian secret service and donors to the Conservative party.

The Russian trolls and bots on this thread are a piece of fxckng work!

The question is 'WHO' did that? Answer that MI6 folks and you'll have your Russian moles. Start with that trashwad spy mole scumbag Farage and all of Johnson's cohorts.

Can you sink any lower BI? This tripe has been so thoroughly discredited its baffling you dredge it up. With all of the opportunities to report on industries struggling to survive, new ideas flourishing, even both sides of the Aunt Jemima issue, you go here? Just lazy journalism.

Sure. Probably from the same guy who gave us the dossier. Lol! We’ve had three years of this narrative of Russia connection all debunked. Intel community testimonies came to light that they have no such evidence at all. Thank you Grenell for declassifying and exposing it all!

Business Insider should be held accountable for 4 years of PUBLIC DECEPTION.

🙄🙄🙄... and this is a surprise to who, exactly?

I'd say the China trade deal has more of a hold over him.
